My Thoughts on Retribution (It's bad...)

i love how they updated the first game for the quest 3 but left retribution to rot. the downgrade from 1 to 2 actually gave me whiplash

[@skydd_4699]

Watching this a year later, I just played my 2nd run since the initial release and it was horrific. My first time playing there was absolutely nothing wrong, on the second play through however, about a year and a bit later the game felt unplayable. I’d just gotten back from the mission where you get the bolt cutters for sable in bourbon street and the quest tab had 2 missions. One told me to wait for Sonny to contact me, and the other told me to wait for Sable to contact me. About 5 days went by with nothing from both of them so I decided to look to see if other people had the same problem. Turns out it was a big problem for a lot of people. No one had an answer on how to fix it apart from waiting for about 20 in game days. I did just that until I decided to go back to Bourbon Street in the same spot you get the bolt cutters from, and finally Sable contacted me. I might have accidentally skipped dialogue but even then acquiring the bolt cutters should be a trigger in the game files for Sable to contact you. Every part of the game feels rushed and I don’t think that fully has to do with Skydance. I think Meta rushed them to finish the game for the release of the Quest 3 which wasn’t enough time. Despite all the “patches” like you said the game has arguably gotten worse and it feels like skydance doesn’t even care about it. I don’t believe there will be a chapter 3 but if there is I pray they put more effort into making it a playable and enjoyable game, and if they don’t make the chapter 3 it would at least be nice to have a fully patched and functional chapter 2 with minimal bugs.

[@burger-ci9kf]

You know, it would have been cool if you did certain footholds and during the tower fight they would have that. For example, if you completed the rampart foothold then some exiles would be able to throw grenades or maybe the more footholds you completed the more exiles that would come and help defeat mama instead of you just being a one man army. This channel was great man, good luck out there and hope you do well.

[@RadioMan2023]

Yeah a more open world/multiple choice ending would have been cool Kinda like the last game but more Like you can one man army it like the game now or you can gather a few exiles from the streets in a squad (like half life 2) and they will have more equipment and more training the more footholds you completed

[@johnnycool395]

Even after all the “bug fixes” the game is still really glitchy and still broken. Characters change sizes, things jump across the map, your game crashes and still a few more bugs. Also you can literally see the big ending reveal that the tower were behind old town and those big bells by going into the building where it is in the tower map. I think Casey could’ve also played in this part if you didn’t kill him. As a further negative, if you kill Sable and her crew it doesn’t change the game at all, no matter who you kill, except Mama. I feel like these Gerik chases around the map would be good because even after the game when you are collecting the last achievements the Gerik chases would still give a last bit of achievements. Also I did see someone in a game get Gerik to follow you around in the ward so if you know how to do that I would really like to know. The most annoying thing is that at the start, sometimes the key would fling off or the key would just fall with Mama. I hope at-least they will release the chapter 2 DLC soon but I don’t expect it. I am glad that substatica has at least made this game better by importing some guns in the code into save file codes (Burst gun I forgot the name, a Rambo knife, and Lee’s axe. He even added infinite ammo weapons which I enjoyed, so thank you substatica).

Just beat it on PSVR2 after getting it on discount. Game had so much potential, but definitely feels like DLC2. Im glad you pointed out that Sable clinic scene. First I was interrupted, ambushed and Echo died. I replayed the level and sable gets shot with no reaction from anyone. Almost reloaded the game again. Also thought the elevator was bugged when it didn't open all the way in the tower. Glad it saved right before I still spent over 25 hours playing, and I don't regret it, but without a doubt inexcusable quality

[@MadameBriteside]

Nutty, YOU are easily one of my fav creators to follow. I've probably watched you play both chapters 3 times and loved every challenge you gave yourself. That the game fell so short of your expectations - to the point of hate - is deeply sad, given the love for the first Saints and Sinners. I've tried, but have yet to find a game that pulls me in like TWD...except the glitches in Chapter 2 make me want to throat punch somebody. I hate that I still love this game that keeps disappointing with the developers lack of commitment to fix even the most glaring obvious issues. For instance, zombies aren't supposed to start break dancing upon getting brained. And why does every open door appear to have an existential crisis like the door itself has no idea where it is supposed to lead. All that to say Nutty, you are right and more importantly, you will be missed.

[@RUGER5264]

Alright I’m back from beating retribution. And honestly, there are some things that I’m disappointed about. 1. I would have like for there to be a chance of Gerik pursuing you throughout some of the areas, they could have made some animation for him killing zombies to get to you. 2. Why did Gerik only appear like 4 times? He was hyped up to be this amazing stalker but we saw so little of him. 3. They really should have put our choices into retribution, kind of annoying how I have 233 days in the first game and my choices are just not there. 4. After defeating Gerik, I was a bit disappointed that I couldn’t take his axe as weapon/trophy. Maybe it could have been unbreakable or something. It would have been nice. 5. The bugs. I’m lucky that I haven’t experienced game breaking bugs. But I did encounter a lot of visual bugs. All in all, Gerik should have had more screen time, They should patch more bugs, and saving The pawn king should have some impact on the game. That’s all I just wanted to rant about Gerik lol.

[@sonicthelegend8741]

So everything else is good In your opinion

[@FriedProfile]

So gameplay wise it is better than the first game, story wise it is worse? Gerik not being a huge appearance is disappointing, but if the gameplay is overall fine then I might return to the game

[@KaneMarks]

Fighting the Axeman was terrifying and very immersive. When you were on the ground floor. For me, I could just go to the second floor of the warehouse and gerik would spend five minutes walking back and forth between the stairs and some boxes.

I didnt really get many issues people complained about but I still feel disappointed for one reason that wasnt even a bug, the game feels like an expansion to the first game that got turned into a new game.

[@cactusthecactus]

so I got retribution about a week ago, and finished it yesterday. for the main story mission where we have to do the exile fetch quest, I couldn't do it. basically what happened was that I played the game, decided to do the rampart grenade launcher quest, failed to save maxwell, thought you could save maxwell with the bolt cutters, reloaded, tried doing the exile fetch quest, gave the posters, accidentally punched the exile in the face, exited the game and took a break. I did a bit of digging since I realized I'd need wire cutters instead of bolt cutters to cut wires, realized maxwell couldn't be saved, re-did the rampart mission (so basically branching out a new run), went back to bourbon st for the mission (in this branched out run), and for some reason, the exile was acting like I just completed the quest. this is my first time meeting patricia in this new run, but she says the dialogue for when you finish the scavenging and come back on another day. she also, apparently, put up the posters, which are still in my inventory even after I finished the whole game. anyways, there's no boxes to put anything, the game won't update the mission, and when I walk away, EVEN THOUGH PATRICIA FINISHED HER DIALOGUE, IT DOES THE "not right now" DIALOGUE AND RESTARTS PATRICIA'S DIALOGUE WHEN I COME BACK so I was fed up and ended up decapitating patricia and hanged her up in the bus :> this effectively ended the sable route, since they never contacted me again (and so I missed out on the tower attack) but I still got the final mission where you confront mama tl;dr, I tried doing the exile mission for sable, accidentally punched patricia (the exile), reloaded back at resting place and decided to do rampart first instead (which branched out my run), went back to the exile mission, got softlocked because patricia thought I was already finishing up the mission in this branched out run, even though it was my first time meeting patricia in this run, missed out on the final sable mission oh yeah, for some reason, the final tower mission for me wasn't nearly as dark yours, it was like the day 1 quest release lighting that you mentioned

Loved the first one. It's on my all-time top ten list. I'm not into VR beyond the used PSVR I got for $80, so finding out the sequel was coming to PS4 was the best gaming-related Christmas present I could have asked for. While there are tons of glitches, tons of problems (the lighting on PS4 is horrible), and many disappointments, I still had fun. I wish I could play it on PCVR and use the God phone, but oh well. Why can't the devs make things like that? They could make hundreds of different skins with the same basic properties. An ice axe is basically the same as the crowbar. A machete is the same as a cleaver. An AK-47 is the same as the AR-16. If I ever go back it will be to the original/trial, unless there's an update/DLC for Retribution.

The first game is an one of my all time favourite games across all platforms. This second game was a so disappointing.

It didnt feel like a true sequel either, 2 new areas just isn't enough.

[@delboy6301]

We could have had Gerik activate after some time like the bells but in the night maps. If we spared him we could have had a conversation explaining exactly what happened with May and he would help beat the tower or try to kill us (but no matter what he will live). Then after beating the game he could help defend you from walkers at night. Trade network could have a board with notes to hand to the merchant, you give 3 soda cans for a energy drink, 1 large green box and you get 5-10 ammo boxes of whatever caliber you need

I have tried literally every possible combination, looked up multiple fixes, nothing will get me out of that damn menu...

For whatever reason when I cut echos head off it turned into an A posing may that flew all over the place, pretty nifty.

[@Nightwing-bh2tn]

I agree they should've made the view of the city match the map better. But complaining about graphics there is a moot point, VR systems can't handle better looking cities than that. Just look at comparable games like Iron Man VR or the Spider-Man VR games and the cities are the exact same. Also Retribution has recepies and secrets to find post-game just like the 1st did in addition to the Trade Network stuff. The Trial is also still in the game, just now its part of the actual raft travel for some reason.

[@nuttyak2taps]

That is very true, the graphics were really just a nitpick to add more to the video. Personally, I really don't care that it looks that way. There are some things to do post credits, but for the most part it's go here, grab this, come back, and 90% of the time it's an obscure item that you have to find naturally which is intended to keep the player with a task without actually making anything new. If by the Trial being part of the raft system, you mean overrun places, that's not the same, although I can see why they took it out as it likely would crash the game completely.

[@Nightwing-bh2tn]

@@nuttyak2taps I thought “overrun” was their version of the trial this game. There’s a tip on the loading screen which encourages players to search locations “during the trial”. And how is the post game content different from chapter 1? All I remember doing in chapter 1 after the story was getting the statues, trophies, crafting instructions, etc. Same as in this game. It’s fair enough to say postgame is boring but I wouldn’t say it’s any different from chapter 1

[@nuttyak2taps]

Nah, the Trial is a standalone game mode separate from the main story, the loading screen tips are 100% left over bits that either weren't supposed to be seen, or were supposed to be there because the Trial was supposed to be in the game. They scrapped a LOT of content in the game. To be fair, Chapter 1's post game is pretty much the same as you say, I think we were just expecting something new. The gameplay loop itself is pretty boring once you know how everything works, not that I can really fault them for that but in Chapter 2 not much was added to spice that up. No doubt they wanted to add a ton of new stuff as proven by the concept art, but they were forced to release the product way too early and as such all this ended up happening.

if im being honest i didnt expect the axe man to blow up that wall behind me, scared the crap out of me.

I didn't know the full extent of the cut content until now and damn they really didn't care...

[@Legoomyeggoo]

Personally when it came out i enjoyed it i only had w bugs echo was in the table in the reserve until put into a chair and also talking to npcs just randomly stop if a zombie comes in somehow or if I accidentally walk a little away then wont start again until i leave the room but its still pretty fun especially bc of the weapons

[@Mr.ChillzHimself]

We'll miss your videos, Nutty.

[@nervescatsvr]

He personally, I planned the quest version and he said that out on the last stand how do all the exiles know I had to go through a omission doing one of the exiles missions and then sable gave me a ton of fliers to give to this random girl after completing a mission and then you can move on with a story and it's like the middle of the story that's how you hit the bolt cutters which I think they also added. I'm pretty sure I don't know.

[@henrycorpman2596]

Gerrick reminds me alot of Adam Smasher from cyberpunk: 2077. Both were overhyped beasts that would pose a serious threat to the player but amounted to nothing but some cameos and a single boss fight. I think any game that does this form of marketing is (sky)bound for failure.

[@dayvip]

It has been a pleasure to see your videos my man.

[@Bhaliack]

Me personally, I did like this game, it has some good memorable moments that were very exciting to go through, I do think they were kind of lazy with it, in terms of content, not much has really been added since chapter 1, there are like 2 more unique melee weapons and I believe 5 unique ranged weapons. I feel like they could have been more creative and added more weapons as the first game had a plethora of unique weapons, even if some were gimmicky. They also ruined some of the exploration for me, in chapter 1, every single cupboard, drawer etc is searchable whearas the new areas in chapter 2, a lot of drawers cant be looted for some weird reason, theres also the obvious issue being that only 3 new areas were added and you spend very little time in those areas and about half the game is spent in areas you already explored in the first game, I get that they adapted a quality over quantity approach but 3 areas in comparison to the 10 distinguishable areas in the first game is quite appalling. Another issue I had was again due to the exploration, in chapter 1, most levels have safes, hidden schematics, hidden codes but in chapter 2, there are only a handful of hidden things throughout the levels, I think I saw only 2 code locked things in chapter 2, 1 of which was story required, hence theres little to no encouragement to actually search through the areas properly. This game literally just feels dlc worthy as appose to a standalone title which is a real shame because chapter 1 had such a great foundation for a vr story game and for every new feature they added in the second game, it feels like they removed 2-3 defining features from the first installment. I wish they spent a few more years building this game because if they made the lines between the 2 less blurry, this game could have been phenomenal. I would recommend playing this but only if you have the money to spare because the price tag for this 'game' isnt really worth it, if it was half the price it is, then it would have more ground to stand on.

[@RadioMan2023]

The only good thing about retribution is it encouraged the release for TWD SNS 1 to be released on psvr 2 and also being able to import stuff from pc to psvr2 through the save imports from Substatica

[@Higgdawg]

Coming back 3 months later I honestly don’t regret buying it on my psvr2 it’s a pretty solid game especially knowing newer games ain’t the best

[@nuttyak2taps]

the PSVR2 version was pampered, it actually runs well and doesn't contain as many game breaking issues as the other versions. Most people that say the game is good are either PSVR2 users or Quest kiddies that haven't played any other games in their life.

[@braidensheets7665]

If you shoot right above the facemask on the eradicator, it kills them AR shot

If you watch the intro of walking dead 2 where they wipe out some people you can actually see barns and sable shooting them while *ECHO* running with the same *HAT*

The game would’ve been so much better if they added all of the stuff I never knew any of this stuff existed and people would’ve actually played this game. All of the stuff was added like a DLC to chapter 1.

Also can we talk about how they released a whole other game even though the blunt melee crashes are still in the first game to this day?
